Refunds for Ticketholders
For fans who have their hearts set on watching the action live, it’s worth noting that the USGA is extending an olive branch by offering refunds on tickets for Saturday due to the “extremely wet” conditions at Oakmont. Ticket holders received emails outlining the situation and procedures for requesting refunds, giving them until Thursday to make their requests. Keep in mind that some areas of the golf course will not be open to fans due to the saturation from the heavy rains, even as players bravely step up to compete.
